* http://www.umons.ac.be/mcm2015
* In conjunction with
* The 11th Metaheuristics International Conference (MIC'2015)
* http://www.lifl.fr/MIC2015
* 7-10 June, 2015

*************************************************************************************
Submission Deadline: Feb 6, 2015
Selected best papers of McM'2015 will be considered for publication in
a special issue
of the Wiley's journal of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and
Experience (CC-PE).
-----------------------------------------
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
-----------------------------------------
Plenty of hard problems in a wide range of application areas,
including engineering design,
telecommunications, logistics, etc. have been modelled and tackled
successfully with
metaheuristics (evolutionary algorithms, scatter or swarm search,
simulated annealing,
abu search, etc.). Nowadays, optimization problems become increasingly
large and complex,
forcing the use of parallel computing for their efficient and
effective resolution. On the
other hand, parallel computing has recently undergone a significant
evolution in terms of
performance and energy consumption with the emergence of multi-core
and many-core
computing technologies (GPU, MIC, etc.). Indeed, accelerators and
coprocessors have powered
many parallel and/or distributed environements including
high-performance workstations,
hybrid clusters among them the top ranked Top500 and Green500 ones,
and computational
grids and clouds. The design and implementation of parallel
metaheuristics for the above
environments raise several issues related in the same time to the
characteristics of these
hardware execution machines and those of the parallel models of
metaheuristics. This
workshop seeks to provide an opportunity for the researchers to present original
contributions on the joint use of advanced (discrete or continuous,
single or multi-objective,
static or dynamic, deterministic or stochastic, hybrid) optimization
methods and distributed
and/or parallel multi/many-core computing, and any related issues.
-----------------------------------------
TOPICS INCLUDE (BUT NOT LIMITED TO):
-----------------------------------------
- Parallel models (island, master-worker, multi-start, etc.) for metaheuristics
revisited for multi-core and/or many-core (MMC) environments.
- Parallel mechanisms for hybridization of metaheuristics on MMC environments.
- Implementation of parallel metaheuristics on MMC workstations, MMC
clusters, MMC
grids/clouds, etc.
- Software frameworks for the design and implementation of parallel
and/or distributed
MMC metaheuristics.
- Computational/theoretical studies reporting results on solving
challenging problems
using MMC computing.
- Performance metrics for MMC parallel and/or distributed metaheuristics.
- Energy-aware optimization for/with MMC parallel and/or distributed
metaheuristics.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Framework for Random Metric Spaces
Large-scale optimization problems show up in many domains, such as
engineering, scheduling, economics, but also, e.g., in the sciences.
Unfortunately, finding optimal solutions within reasonable time is often
impossible because the problems that have to be solved are
computationally intractable. Because of this, optimization problems are
nowadays often attacked using ad-hoc heuristics. Many such heuristics
show a remarkable performance, but their theoretical (worst-case)
performance is poor - worst-case analysis is often too pessimistic to
reflect the performance observed. In order to explain the performance of
heuristics, probabilistic analysis is the method of choice, where
performance is analyzed with respect to random instances.
The instances of many optimization problems involve, implicitly or
explicitly, a metric space. This can be physical distances, but also,
e.g., costs for travel or transportation. Up to now, however,
probabilistic analysis of algorithms is almost exclusively restricted to
Euclidean instances or the distances are drawn independently,
disregarding the metric nature. Both approaches fall short of explaining
the average-case performance of heuristics on general metric instances.
Our goal is to develop and apply a framework for random metric spaces.
We want to develop models for random metric spaces, study their
properties, and apply these findings to explain the observed performance
of heuristics for optimization problems. The goal is to obtain more
conclusive insights about performance than with the traditionally used
models, and to use the insights obtained to design better algorithms.

Methods for Multi-Objective Optimisation

********************************************************
Call For Papers - EJOR Featured Cluster
Recent Advances in Exact Methods
for Multi-Objective Optimisation
********************************************************
*Motivation*
The development of exact methods for multi-objective optimisation (MOO)
is experiencing renewed interest in the OR community as witnessed by the
growing body of research emerging in that domain. Recent advances in the
development of nonlinear, linear and mixed-integer programming solvers
push the boundaries towards more challenging areas (including, e.g.
global, bi-level and uncertain optimisation problems). Hence solving to
optimality larger, more difficult real-world problems involving several
conflicting objectives has been put within reach. Also, researchers
previously working in single-objective optimisation are increasingly
contributing to the fast progress of the development of exact
multi-objective optimisation algorithms. In this featured cluster we
solicit original and high-quality papers presenting the latest research
in the field of exact algorithms for multi-objective mixed integer,
linear and non-linear programming, exact methods for MOO under
uncertainty, as well as heuristics derived from exact methods for MOO.
*Contents*
The purpose of this featured cluster is to increase the visibility of
exact methods for MOO and to motivate a broader group of researchers to
contribute to the field. We will consider high-quality manuscripts
addressing the development of new theoretical insights, algorithmic
approaches and computational studies in the context of exact methods for
MOO.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- multi-objective branch-and-bound algorithms
- multi-objective branch-and-cut algorithms
- column generation and branch-and-price algorithms for MOO
- mixed-integer (non)-linear MOO
- stochastic MOO
- robust MOO
- continuous non-linear MOO
- objective space algorithms
- heuristic methods derived from exact methods for MOO
- complexity analysis and worst case behaviour of MOO algorithms
Although we strongly encourage the submission of papers presented at the
workshop "Recent Advances in Multi-Objective Optimization"
(moo.univie.ac.at), this Call for Papers is open to the entire community
of academics and practitioners working in the field of multi-objective
optimisation.
*Submission*
Prospective authors are asked to follow the EJOR guide for authors and
submit their papers from April 1, 2015 via the EES
(http://ees.elsevier.com/ejor). Please select "Feat.Cluster Exact MOO"
as the "Article Type" during the submission process. Submitted papers
will undergo a regular review process according to the high standard of
EJOR.
*Important Dates*
Paper Submission Open: April 1, 2015
Paper Submission Due: July 1, 2015
Notification of Review Results: October 31, 2015
Revised Manuscript Due: January 15, 2016
Final Decision: March 15, 2016
